The cute adjacent cabins have also been recently updated as well.
Six comfortable bedrooms with high end linens: Each of the two adjacent one bedroom cabins are furnished exquisitely, with fine linens and cozy bedding, including a queen Westin Heavenly Bed in the Beach Cabin. Each cabin has its own bathroom, as well as satellite TV service, phone/intercom, and of course a coffee-maker. A lighted concrete path and phone intercom system connects the three structures, allowing both privacy and togetherness at your option. All bedrooms have 300 thread count linens, down comforters, and designer furnishings.

Five women looked for a place to celebrate the 70th milestone for one of their group. They rented the beachfront cabin at Whidbey Island and found a place remarkably suited to their needs. Spacious, open common rooms meant the group could sit, eat, talk in various locales comfortably. Private bedrooms and the beach cabin gave each the solitude and private moments they desired. The beach welcomed us to stride energetically or dawdle mindlessly, and provided surprising treasures - the wooden teepee on the beach, and stones shaped like Mickey's head. The kitchen, well equipped and laid out, became a creative space and served us well. We left with regret, but carried away with us memories of bocce on the lawn; rabbits munching steadily while dogs careened around the beach; deer welcoming us as we drove down the trail to the house and again on our way out; and a truly wonderful venue in which to celebrate one of life's important moments.Recommended for: Girls getaway, romantic getaway, sightseeing, families with teenagers.

We have stayed at the Whidbey Beachfront property 2 years in a row for our annual team retreat. We love the location and the house is very comfortable with everything you could need. There are plenty of beds for everyone and the kitchen is great for large groups. The WIFI is useful for the working portion of our retreat. The hot tub, pool, beachfront and fire pit are nice for the non-working portion of our stay. Nancy is very helpful in making arrangements and giving all the information you need for your stay on the island. We will definitely be back next year.Recommended for: Girls getaway, age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers.

We came here with a ten friends and family for a special gathering and we all just loved the place! It's so accommodating--and spectacular! Everyone could be together or easily find a quiet corner or beach for solitude. Steam shower was a particularly nice and unusual amenity. We love Whidbey Island and this place!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Our three generation family gathering was held at Whidbey Beachfront compound this month and everyone had a ball. There was plenty of room in the main house and grandma and grandpa claimed the beach cottage. Having the extra cottage bedroom for overflow was helpful. It was unseasonably warm the first part of the stay and the grandchildren made good use of the pool and everyone enjoyed the hot tub. All twelve of us eat dinner outside every night, enjoying the view. With the pool, beach and the state park a short walk away, we had everything we need to make memories. It was a great week.Recommended for: Age 55+, sightseeing, families with young children, families with teenagers.

An really incredible property

We rented this place for a CEO type retreat and it was nothing short of incredible. Working with the property owners before, during and after the stay was a breeze and our questions were always promptly answered. The accommodations were very modern, extremely well-kept and very clean. In some ways we felt like the pictures of the property displayed didn't do it enough justice -- once you get there you will know what I mean. After our stay, many of the execs themselves are considering renting the property for their own family get-togethers. I highly recommend this for business retreats, romantic get-aways, R&R trips, adventure seekers and family outings. Once again, incredible property!Recommended for: Girls getaway, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, sightseeing, families with young children, families with teenagers.

Following an epic health event in our family several years ago, we started a tradition of ending and beginning the years with a family gathering in celebration of our blessed lives. After choosing different beachfront destinations on many of the islands in Puget Sound, we came upon this piece of paradise. We have been grateful guests of this property 4 times I beleive and it is without a doubt one of the most beautiful retreats you will ever find so close to home. We rented pre-remodel and loved everything about it. Then the remodel occurred and we were smitten!! It was possible for it to be even better! The owners have an amazing attention to detail and have thought of everything. We would love to rent in the summer and take advantage of the pool and swimming!! We also want to come back to see the total finished remodel. Sorry we didn't book early enough this year to be ending 2011 and beginning 2012 in this most luxurious of vacation destinations. You won't be disappointed in the least in any aspect of this home. It's like having your own compound. The wonderful thing about it is that you won't feel as though you are renting...you will feel as though you've come home...( with upgrades! )Recommended for: Girls getaway, age 55+, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, families with young children, families with teenagers.
Owner response: Thank you so much for your kind words! We would love to have you back again soon. All the best wishes to you and your family for the coming year. Nancy and Al

My Bunco group absolutely raved about spending two Autumn nights at this exquisite property! We are an older group and even though we didn't make it down to the sandy beach, the views of the water, mountains, ships, boats and wildlife from the main house and deck, Eagle's Nest and Beach Front Cabin are to die for! The main floor includes a bathroom, with view windows from every other room consisting of a living room with an HD TV, dining room with a spacious table (sits up to 12) and roomy kitchen (with an island) which all makes for a homey atmosphere! Impressed with the spacious refrigerator, two dishwashers, a separate freezer which kept us current with ice; the pantry and cupboards have every pan and utensil you'll ever need. The linens and mattresses were heavenly. All bedrooms are downstairs in the main house.The owner is a wonderful person to deal with and made it so easy! I stayed in the Eagle's Nest with my sister and we were very happy there. The view was great, it was quiet and the mattress and linens were so comfortable. No trouble falling asleep, at all. We had a wonderful visit and we all want to return for our annual Bunco weekend next year. Hopefully in the warmer weather! Thank you for helping us create memories that will last a lifetime.Recommended for: Girls getaway, age 55+, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, sightseeing, families with young children, families with teenagers.

We had a superb time - wonderful winter or summer vacation spot. Our PEPS group traveled from Seattle and had a great time cooking, laughing, roasting marshmallows, beachcombing -- and in February! Great for toddlers and their parents. The property is beautiful, spacious and we loved the cook's kitchen. We've rented many houses for getaways with our group, and this one is by far our favorite. The main house can easily sleep 3 families, and the other two cabins are close by, so everyone feels together, but not too together. Lovely beach and fire pit too.Recommended for: Girls getaway, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, sightseeing, families with young children.
Owner response: Thank you so much for coming! We look forward to having you again! - Nancy

We spent 4 nights in January 2011 and loved every minute. There were 8 - 10 of us and the cabins and main house provided privacy but allowed conviviality. Much time was spent around the large dining table eating, laughing, playing games. There was plenty of space for us to all watch movies together in the living room as well as cook together in the glorious kitchen. The beach and the view are the main attraction and they didn't disappoint. We hiked to the State Park, and, from the ginormous deck, watched seals play, eagles soar, bats whiz by. Listened to frogs and owls. Saw more stars than we can from the city. It was magical. We will definitely be renting again!Recommended for: Girls getaway, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, families with teenagers.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 1998
About the owner: Nancy and Al are both native Washingtonians who have lived in Boston, San Diego, and Auckland, NZ, and who happily returned to Seattle in the early 90's. They live in West Seattle and have 3 children. Nancy is on the board of Conservation Northwest, a non-profit environment organization which helps connect and protect wildlands in Washington State. She loves cycling, hiking, gardening, good architecture, playing piano, and watching her kids play sports- soccer and rowing.
Why the Owner Chose Greenbank:
My husband and I looked for Whidbey Island real estate for 2 years before purchasing this property on Whidbey's westside. It is truly the best beach location on Whidbey, and we bought it for the incredible views, sandy beach and SW facing aspect. Over the past 10 years, we have done extensive remodeling to bring the structures to luxury standards and enjoy sharing our 'Kennedy compound' (as friends have termed it!) with newer guests as well as families who return year after year. We donated most of our profits to environmental and women's health charities, with well over $60,000 donated over the past 5 years. We have used VRBO to introduce the property to new guests for over 8 years now.
